VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 40 

I love you guys and your videos!!

The coolest and funniest thing about starship troopers/total recall/RoboCop is for being some of the most iconic badass sci fi action movies of all time with extremely clever commentary and parody of modern military/corporate society.. he intentionally made them shlocky to like make fun of over the top American action cinema (the board room shooting scene in RoboCop) and ended up making some of the most iconic action movies of all time

I know I saw the video several time, but right now my memory is going blank, what channel was it from already ?

@@Mangaka-ml6xo Jablinskigames is Jack Black's youtube channel.

Because that's damn right

Timestamp?

4:31

Haha yea friendship endings

Getoverhere but ge grabs a present.

How dare you? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?

You damn degenerate. It's Kombat!

Babalities.

That’s where practical wins. An effect that can withstand the test of time

Correction: it looked dated when the movie was released

Practical and in camera always better than CGI. At least for horror. Prove me wrong.

and they even predict it that it comes from bat

@@marlonmarinay5102 the knowledge that a lot of viruses came from bats was definitely known by the people who wrote the script. There’s SARS in the movie (the bat virus from the early 2000s that everyone forgot about), which is literally the strain of virus that the current Coronavirus 19 was as well

it was the most watched movie on netflix during the first few months of the pandemic. still, it's funny how it didn't get everything right. For example everybody wanting to get the vaccine. or no vaccine denialists. i guess the difference is that people are dropping like flies in that world.

@@BanterBus Indeed, it's been known for a long while that bats are a huge risk for new zoonotic viruses. Bats have a crazy strong immune system, meaning that a lot of viruses can just survive on bats without killing their host (which is beneficial for a virus, because dead host cells can't produce new virus particles), but the viruses still have to be really strong to survive the bat's immune system. So what might be a proverbial flea for a bat is a huge problem for a human because our immune systems really aren't built for that. And this knowledge has been out for a while. It really bothers me that some people take it as "proof" that it was "planned" but that's like saying the weather forecast is a conspiracy because they predicted the hurricane before it became a hurricane. It would've been nice if we'd just taken more precautions to prevent zoonotic pathogens from even reaching the human population. With our population density it goes from zero to shitstorm in the blink of an eye.

@@pgplaysvidya it's easier to deny the vaccine, if you're not immediately going to die from the virus. Only a certain kind of person would IRL (old, sick etc.) In the movie, it did not matter, you would die either way if you're not immune.

Yes. The Legend of the Guardians: Owls of Ga'Hoole. Please

oh my god yes

Fking ga'hoole lol yes!!!!!

Thats a snyder film? No shit?

How about corridor reacts to mortal engines.

Bugs Bunny: "Screw you, doc!"

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

thanks china

Lol, it came from the lab, not from a bat. Everybody knew this even in March, 2020.

@@maxtheultimatepodcaster5787 bro, they literally confirmed it these days ... once you actually see any such footage, I expect you to come back to this post and apologize. Till later!

It's all fake.

@@Jagooon what's fake?

PFP checks out

@@meathandsmans who?

Yeah I was going for a run at night and had a bat fly out of a bush right in front of me, scared the shirt out of me.

Sky Puppies!

I NEED THIS

YES PLEASE!

I love that movie

I wanna breakdown too. That movie is great.

Yes!!

Yes!!

I think there is a video on their channel were they go through dragon ball the live action movie. I think that's it.

yeah!

Love your Channel

I tried to watch it, I just could not stand the cringe fight scene where he is at the mansion for a party.

I actually really enjoyed that movie.

Me too!

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Good call

oh yeah mr hyde as well

OMG. I hope they do it, I love that movie

I feel bad for him at this point... he gets his arms blown off in MK9, gets them ripped off by Goro in MK: Scorpion's Legend, and now he gets them frozen off by Sub-Zero. Give this man a break already 🤣🤣

You know the rules, and so do I

FAVORITE SERIES

do you know the intro music in the bg ?

Stormlight 1 was the book that finally convinced me to go eReader. 1600 pages!?!?!?11111one. That was a thicc book

@@adamross2256 I started with Mistborn and I was devouring those books. Then I jumped to Stormlight and yup thicc ones

I'm so tempted!!! I should do it!! Ahhh

Was thinking the same thing.

Really?? I still remember episode 1 like it was released yesterday

Why?

I was thinking the same thing lol

@@cako7139 because time flies

Yeah, the only question is, did he meant the RU-vid Channel or the Book series The Way of Kings?

Wren is a gift to us

It's the Keanu eating cheese look

Suscribe so can Wren can be happy again

I had to double check to see if i was subscribed lol

They were terrible. There. I reacted to them for you.

@@bradmyers5354 The Hobbit movies or The Sorcerer's Apprentice? Because both had some pretty good VFX I don't think you know what you're talking about lol.

I'm sure they've talked about it before but can't remember which video

They did already, but they should look at Roughnecks: Starship Trooper Chronicles

Amen!

Haha such a classic I remember first watching it in like 2001 in jr high and being like oh fuck this movie is so brutal, I love it The tongue in cheek style & ironic look at their propaganda & war economy is great too, even implying they started the war haha It's so funny

Because they did many practical effects and it cost millionssss. Was so expensive for its day, why the sequels look so bad in comparison. But you get to see Kelly Clarkson naked in the second one, best part of the movie.

Not sure if the IP would allow it, but a Mistborn short made by CD would be awesome!

@@NicholasFoote that would be amazing. There is a severe lack of visual media related to the cosmere.

Yes that would be great. Mistborn I feel would translate over to movies well with the way the magic system works. I have been waiting for so damn long for any medium to take on the cosmere. Videogames, movies, anime, tv series there are so many ways it could be adapted in an amazing way.

Bridge 4

I 2nd this! Despite how poor this past season of Discovery was the VFX were amazing especially the monster.

Stargate the movie of 1994! It was so cool!

I've been asking for BSG for years now lol.

Stargate would be awesome!

The Last Starfighter too!

Corridor Crew doing an Astartes style short for Stormlight Archive? It's the only way it could ever get close to a film adaptation...

@@blahblahblahcontent DAMN RIGHT THAT WOULD BE GREAT!

What pores?

@@saber-jocky3436 THE pores

@@chockyglocky0577 There was only one Pore, that's why it didn't stretch.

So there for it doesn’t look realistic

Anything "good" about Paul Blart is by definition surprising

@@znmfam.

Funny I just watched a video on the scanmate, there is only 1 machine left .

@@Joshuaw10 there are two left in known locations. An operator keeps one that works and another one it's known to be in storage.

i thought you put Scamimate

@@Li-lj1fv that was the bootleg version ;)

i think is 10 machines, not sure but this old man agree ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0wxc3mKqKTk.html

Shin Godzilla had some amazing effects work.

the whole series is about magic and werewolves and you see them once in whole season like lol such a shit show

The strange thing is, that some VFX-shot are great and some are just bad.

@@TheEplestugas some are just straight trash like it's insane how werewolves had 3 minutes in total of screen time for whole season

@@AKagNA I know.😂 The hole thing was just way to ambitious, for the small butget they apperently had.

Yeah, that show is unfortunate in that the idea is super cool, even some of the sets are super cool, but the VFX budget seemed to be basically zero.

This would actually be so good

Yeah do this @Corridor

I want the worst examples too, That way we can see how far we've come

Yess

Yes

Yes

They should really react to the ladder scene from "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World". I've always wondered how they did the effects for that

What's uncomfortable is that someone thought it was a good idea to test this in real life.

Why?

oh please. there's a mention about c virus potentially being a pandemic in one of our pathology textbooks. never expected to see it happen buttt it did

This is Corridor tip-toeing around the cancel-bot to show that they dont belive the BS Cvid virus just like the rest of us...hollywood all the way

@@whatyoudo9773... What?

He got me into Bradon Sanderson too!

Then they can discover cremposting

discovered Bobiverse from Wrens recommendation and i love it!

Ayy, a fellow cosmere fan. I have read era 1 of Mistborn 3 times already. I actually just finish Alloy of Law and just started Shadow's of Self. I tried reading Elantris, but I could not get into it. Thinking of swapping over to the Stormlight Archive after I am done with Era 2.

Same, never would have read them without wrens recommendation

Practical, sick, gut wrenching, so much you want to turn away but cannot. That is how good it was.

I wish they reacted to Alien 3, the effects suck in that

definition of the "holy moly" meme

Man those days were the best, coming home from school ready to watch some Minecraft or TTT.

They sorta own that royalty free music now, or they did anyways.

YES i was just about to say that

The film that saved (kinda) the prequel trilogy and got me into star wars

me too

yesss

that would be cool

I’ve been saying that for 7 episodes!!

Pretty sure there is a documentary that was on the dvd that explained the whole process. Must be on youtube somewhere.

Yes!

1 of my absolute favorites as a child. Too bad you'll never catch it on TV because everyone blows the ccp.

haha I'm glad

I thought of the Stand first haha

Bruh even with the bat shit

Outbreak for me. Then Contagion... Then hoping the rona would be more Outbreak than Contagion cos that movie messed me up lol.

@@stevenzaur dude I rewatched it my mom cause she’s never seen it, she was mind blown! Hahaha

Bump

Great movie

Best Netflix movie

When Wren talked about Mistborn in one of the other Audible sponsorships that was what introduced me to Brandon Sanderson‘ works and I could not be happier, now I just need to survive the near 3-year wait for Stormlight book 5

@@egorobidin4888 Niiiice! I've been reading them since the 3rd stormlight book came out. I haven't had much time to finish the 4th stormlight yet. mostly finished tho. It's so fun to hear wren suggest it!

I feel old, now. XD

Literally same

Kids these days laugh at us saying we were born in 1900s.

@@MostafaAkbari7 nothing aged me faster than seeing the “I wish I was a teenager in the 2000s” posts, I swear

@@MostafaAkbari7 I mean...aren't they kinda right? I'm 31 and it's amazing to think back on how much CGI and other things we take for granted have evolved. Video games aren't even that old, but they were part of a major shift in society. Because of my age, I was just old enough to experience VHS tapes, dial-up, and floppy discs before we moved on to CDs, USB, etc. With that experience, I can totally understand how many things seem "ancient" and strange to the current generation. 30 years is no small amount of time, especially with how fast everything changes these days.

What a classic

I'd second this!

That movie was fantastic.

a lot of it is stop motion too i think? you can tell cuz the cgi is terrible

They have just reacted to Davy Jones cgi that to only of intro of davyjones pirates of the Caribbean is full of mind blowing vfx

The entire film is a vfx dream. So much to cover, from practical, to special fx. It is beautiful

Ghostbusters 2 was the 90's so that could be a shout.

And how the water on an exploding fire hydrant is done with sand! Lessons on vfx that have been forgotten...relearned...and forgotten again.

Definitely seconding the first Ghostbusters

This

You forgot to mention Val Kilmer. Like basically all of it

“Concentrate, Willow!” I was working in Yellowknife the summer it was released. Not much to do, so I was at the movie theatre every night to see it for a week. How times have changed!

Did you subscribe though? 🥺

@@Jras7771 already am

Subscribe 🥺

It always makes me unsub so I can subscribe again.

They should play "In the arms of an angel"

I've not read anything by him other than his finishing of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan when he passed away. Jordan's wife picked Sanderson to finish the story and he did a *GREAT* job working with characters and narrative not his own while still having his own voice. He always credited Wheel of Time as part of what got him into writing and fantasy. I'd love to start reading his original works, have any suggestions where a newcomer should start? Best wishes melord Spink *bows*

@@wren7195 Specifically look up 'Brandon Sanderson Cosmere' and start reading those. I personally started with the Mistborn series, then worked my way through Stormlight. The stories take place on different worlds within the same shared universe, and there are subtle crossovers that help build a greater overarching story that spans them all.

@@wren7195 Oh boy, I'm not the one you asked, but I got into Sanderson's work (relatively) recently so maybe I can shed a bit of light. My advice would be to start with The Final Empire, first book of the Mistborn trilogy. It's fantastic as a standalone, so if you don't feel it once you're done you won't have wasted much. It does give a pretty good taste of what Sanderson is about, so I like that as a starting point. If you end up enjoying The Final Empire, finish up the first mistborn trilogy. From there it's Warbreaker and the Stormlight Archive after that. At least, I started in that order and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Once you're in there are a lot of differen't ways to go, but each one is totally valid. It's a massive universe but TOTALLY worth exploring. There's always another secret.

Stephen, S0LAR thank you both so much! Mistborn was the only one I knew. He wrote in an interview for Wheel of Time that WoT took "the farmer" and turned him into a king, and he had always been fascinated by turning the trope on its head and having the king lose everything and thus ensues story! I've been dying to have something great to read lately, thank you both so much. Sounds like I need to jump onto the Mistborn train! Again, thank you both very much. Wish you guys all the best, stay safe out there! Oh gack forgot my disclaimer that I'm definitely not Wren from Corridor, I often forget to do that. Never want to impersonate anybody. Plus I'm a girl soooo... awkwardness ensues.... be well everybody

Sanderson's RU-vid channel has the full stormlight archive for free I think

Speaking of morphing, react to ANCIENT VFX: Walter Donovan‘s death in the third Indiana Jones movie. It was done with practical masks, reverse footage and early morphing technology. It is great

Yeah, but they should have linked the original video: watch?v=EfFI6L4m49g You can also find a link to the NSFW version there and don't even need to go to the corridor page for that.

Im sorry to hear that 😪 keep being optimistic

@@jalin8039 im trying, but hes been in the icu for almost two weeks and his kidneys started failing yesterday

That's very troubling to hear. I hope he has his family around him. Please also take care of yourself.

Sorry to hear that. You and your grandpa will be in our thoughts.

@@CorridorCrew over a thousand comments and counting and y'all take the time to respond to mine. I'm truly touched, subscribed forever ❤

OMG it's got Benedick Cumberbitch in it!

@@LoserDestiny are you high?

*car explosion*

Didnt expect to see you here lol

I would be down for them to review that. Because I felt the CGI was badass but just so completely disconnected from the rest of the film.

I think (not 100% sure) that they already did a video about it.

Well, some scenes were made by people who made witcher 3 cinematic trailers, you can certainly see similiarities.

I love legend of the sword it’s dope

I get blown away by the first Starship Troopers movie every time. Crazy to think it came out in 97, it always looks as real as the first time i saw it. I think it has the perfect blend of cgi and practical effects. Too bad they'll never review it because of how violent it is

It's a little different in that the Troopers bugs were animated stop-mo style a la Jurassic Park instead of the rod-puppet method we see here. Although for quick actions of bugs getting killed they did loosen the joints an physically shake them around.
